How to install salt for python3?

Question

When I check my salt-minion version, I get the following message:

[root@localhost ~]# salt-minion --version
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/salt/scripts.py:198: DeprecationWarning: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as
Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date.  Salt will drop support for Python 2.7 in the Sodium release or later.
salt-minion 2019.2.0 (Fluorine)

My question is: how can I install Salt for python3, since the salt packages are automatically installed in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/salt/?

OS is CentOS 7. Installed salt through Yum, from this repo: https://repo.saltstack.com/#rhel

Oh, now I see... there's a different repo for python3. I think I didn't see it when I copied this repo a couple years ago. Thank you. — Reinaldo Gomes, Sep 18 '19 at 01:45

You just use the python3 package installer - pip3

yum install python3-pip
pip3 install salt

As explained in https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap#python-3-support this is only supported on some platforms.

Try

sh bootstrap-salt.sh -x python3 -D

and/or check sh bootstrap-salt.sh --help for more details.
